Folks, there is a new fellow in town, and he is making accurate reproduction cabinets for Philco Models 16B (cathedral), 17B, 18B, 19B, 71B and 91B.
Take a good look at these two Philco 16B cathedrals.

Now tell me:
Which one is a genuine, authentic, 1933-34 Philco 16B cabinet (it has been refinished, though), and which one is a reproduction cabinet?
More to come...and I will reveal the source of the new supplier on Friday (and no, it isn't me...I'm nowhere near that talented...cabinets are a weak point with me, I much prefer electronic restorations).
